Well, Mittens hasn't sewn it all up after all, folks. As I predicted, the waters are even muddier.
The problem is the southern, deep red voter. They just don't like or trust Romney. First, he's a Mormon and I don't think they like that at all. Second, and most important, they don't think he's a "real" conservative. Honestly, I don't think he is either. He's saying the things that he imagines a conservative would say but he doesn't really believe them.
That's why Rick Santorum is hanging around. He believes the things he says which I suppose in some ways makes him more frightening. Isn't it interesting that he has been outspent a zillion to one and yet Romney still can't put him away? I guess having all the money in the world doesn't really mean anything.
Newt Gingrich's speech last night should be time capsuled and remembered for being a fine example when someone is wondering in the future about the psychological makeup of right wing bloggers and commenters (see: Titanic Hubris). Good Lord...
And why is Ron Paul still in the race? He hasn't won a state yet and his message isn't really resonating with voters.
The next few contests are going to be a drag for Romney. Kansas is this Saturday. Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri are all next week. If Santorum wins them all, what then?

The state I watched with most interest was Virginia, since it was only Romney and Paul. The turnout was less than half the turnout in 2008, and less than the turnout this year in Mass.
The conservative tribe in VA just didn't get out and vote because the ballot had two guys not part of the tribe - a weathervane they don't trust and lightning that scares the shit out of them.
The "real" conservatives are just like liberals - govt is no good if it can't be used against people you don't like.

Tell me now if you got that line from somewhere else. I plan to use it at some point, and want to know where to point the credit.
That is mine, at least as far as I know.
